Homeland co-star David Harewood - who plays CIA counter-terrorism director David Estes - has apparently signed a similar five-year deal.

Lewis recently won an Emmy in the category of ''Outstanding Lead Actor' for his performance as tortured marine-turned-politician Brody. Homeland itself was also named 'Outstanding Drama Series', while Claire Danes (Carrie Mathison) was recognized as 'Outstanding Lead Actress'.

The second season of Homeland is currently airing on Showtime in the US and Channel 4 in the UK, with a third run yet to be officially confirmed.
